Hey!
...because their rich...
Where have you been the last three thousand years? Money makes the world go 'round, darling. EVERYONE is all about what they can get. And the more we think about our 'rights' to be free and all that crap, the more selfish we all get.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm all for human rights and freedom. I just don't approve of how we are taking that to such an extreme as to say that MY rights are more important than YOUR rights. What happened to putting other people first?
So, no. It's not okay to move a person out of their home, because somebody else that society has deemed more worthy can destroy it and build a giant mausoleum filled with all this space that they only truly use about a hundredth of anyway. It's wrong. The 'rich' are the new and improved version of the lords and ladies of the last few centuries. And the 'poor' is just our modern way of saying 'peasants'.
It sucks, but there it is.
Luv ya,
Tashi :)

no it is not ok. There is a tale about the city fathers in Glasgow along long time ago when the dear green place was flurishing. It is said that the so called founder fathers kept moving every time the city boundery grew, they kept moving further away that is, to seperate themselves from the workers and the poverty, not to mention the degredation. What is now the Gallery of Modern art was formerly one of the tobaco lords house. Only yards from this impressive place there were houses unseen and occupied by many with very little space. Some would say, give the poor ambition to improve themselves and they will indeed work hard and make one rich, providing of course you can keep them in thier place. Nothing much has changed on that front.

What do you mean?
SInce you did not elaborate, I will create my own assumption. Scenario 1- In a city, there is an old run down dilapidated hotel /rooming house where poor people reside. it gets sold for top dollar to make room for a tall building for offices or banks etc.
Scenario 2- a district which is considered a poor area is being bought out , rezoned to create buildings, high rise apartments etc
========================================
It all depends on the country and the lawmakers and politicians who approve the permits.
The act of physically "moving" people out of dangerous old unliveable buildings is actually morally correct, and the creation of low cost housing somewhere else is also inevitable if the landprices demands it.

No it's not! It's common because money has power and those of wealth have the abilities and the power to move the poor and destitute. That's why it's so common.

Oh, come on, the rich serve no purpose at all, except to tempt the poor.

It's legally OK... but that doesn't necessarily make it morally OK.
When the poor end up better off than they were, (and hopefully, far better off,) then there is at least some balance to the equation, but sadly, it usually doesn't work out that way.

It depends on which side of the game you are.
